Hi there, I would like to check if anyone here had any experience of immigration officers slashing and amending names on the COPR by writing on it with pen? I am having problems applying for a SIN and MSP as they are telling me that the COPR is not supposed to be tampered with and written on. I landed in YVR airport a month ago.

My passport name: (example) Alice Wong Mei Ling - My family name is underlined

COPR Information (Same as passport):
Family Name: Alice Wong Mei Ling
Given Name: (blank)

What the officer amended:
Family Name: Wong
Given Name: Alice Mei Ling


I understand that the amendment made by the officer is correct as Wong is my family name and Alice Mei Ling is my given name. However, I can't find any other situation where the COPR was written on with pen. Appreciate any advice!
